Topic: Clone Wars Wave 20 (aka 2011 Wave 1?) (Read 4891 times)

Hevy looks great, I'm glad Hasbro gave him the full 14 points of articulation instead of resorting to Commander Stone-esque articulation. I'm excited for this wave, mostly for the new Season 3 releases. Sure, Season 3 has been pretty dry so far, but so far it's produced a lot of great figures.

JTA also posted this image of the upcoming Obi-Wan. I'm definitely stoked for this release more so than the others, but I can't figure out if he has ankle articulation. It looks like the figure has swivel ankles...

All we know for sure is that Hondo was pictured on the sample Hevy cardback... but that was just an early sample. His repack may have been pulled, but Hasbro hasn't said anything publically about it yet.

Funny, I hadn't even noticed that until you mentioned it. I can't imagine any reason why he would be dropped though. It's a figure they've already mass produced previously so there couldn't be production issues. And they already have 4 "new" figures in this wave, so it seems unlikely they would substitute something else new, like Jet or Cad Bane in disguise. (seriously Hasbro - WHEN?!?!)

This Wave is In Stock now at BBTS, and there is indeed no listing for Hondo.

I am hoping this means they will start showing up at retail before too long, although the way the pegs are filled around here I'm not sure they'll even get stocked right away.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Target will probably be the first to get these, since they had the Embo wave first and Walmart got the Vos wave first. TRU is hopefully out of the picture because their prices are just stupid.

A new carded shot of Bane & TODO-360, nice and large... Clicky to check it out.

I'm thinking because they gave him the coat I'm not going to feel quite so bad buying another Cad Bane. Though at this point I don't really need him at all, but I do kind of want TODO to go with him and this one seems just a hair superior to the Deluxe figure. It'll complement the Deluxe figure I guess.

I'm 99% sure that's a repack man-bag. The strap has the same curve in the back that the deluxe figure's has.

I actually wound up with a clearanced pirate bike and gave one of the packs to a Hoth Rebel and it looks pretty neat. Like he's a courrier or officer or something. Some of them had different packs and stuff ( no man-bags, but one can imagine), so it's a neat little piece to have extras of in its own right.
